As much as we've loved the casting for BvS with Ben Affleck donning the cowl and suiting up as Batman, and Gal Gadot getting her Amazon on as Wonder Woman, the film might have been a bit different if Christian Bale ended up signing on…

Snyder revealed in an interview with FilmInk that he thought about casting Bale in the blockbuster, but not in the role you might think! The director dished:

"This is a total and opposite reality from the Chris Nolan movies. It's another universe, so we couldn't hire Christian Bale if we wanted to, because he doesn't exist in our world. Maybe we could hire him to play another part. We did talk about that briefly."

Zack went on to say:

"I just wanted to hire Christian to play another part to make that obvious. Christian could play, like, Alfred with age makeup. No! Of course not. But you know what I mean. Even people at the studio would say, ‘Who are you getting from the other movies?' And I was like, ‘Hey, come on guys, let's all understand, it's a different world.' In the Batman universe that Chris Nolan created, Superman would have a hard time existing. That that's why we did a reboot on the universe, so we could allow these characters to exist together. We needed to do that to have Batman exist in this world."

Well, dang!

Can you imagine Christian playing another comic book character in BvS:DoJ?!
